Planning

Initially I made a flat plan which I had drawn out by hand, in which it outlined what I was going to do. It allowed me to decide on what was going to go on my magazine cover, the name of my magazine and how I wanted the layout to look. I also decided to use my friend Vicky as the model for my picture on my cover page. I left spaces where I would put my cover stories.
I chose to focus my cover story 'An interview with a second year' which linked into my cover photo. I chose to use this as it was something that would appeal to first years reading the magazine - who the magazine was aimed at.
